Description

This is our so-called presidential Suite. It’s 25 m2, very bright and has views of the Shard and the City. It includes a floor bed, a sofa, wardrobe space and of course wireless Internet access. The flat, which is very comfortable, has everything you need, including wireless Internet, a shared bathroom, kitchen, microwave, washing machine, fridge and a back garden. You also have your own key, so you can look your room.

The flat is 200 meters from New Cross Gate Station, which gives you access to the Overground and the mainline railway (Note: the Overground is connected to the tube/underground - it just runs over ground - all tickets are valid). There are also numerous buses, which pass the flat and go straight to central London, including several night buses, so you can always get home no matter what time of night!

You can be in Trafalgar Square (by train) in just 15 minutes. The vibrant and eclectic area of Shoreditch is also just 15 minutes on the Overground. The location is ideal for any tourist or person working in central London!

So far all the guests in the flat have been very nice, interesting and very respectful of one another. I believe that they have all enjoyed their stay. The apartment is maintained daily to a high standard.

In the local area you will find everything you need for a great stay; there are 24 hour food shops, cafes, restaurants, a big supermarket (Sainsbury’s) and bars all within walking distance to the flat. The flat is very close to Goldsmith University campus, so could be an ideal base if you are visiting the university for a conference.

The apartment is really convenient if you are visiting the Olympic games this summer. It is just 20 minutes by bus to Greenwich were a number of events are taking place, and just 20 minutes to the stadium at Stratford, via the Overground and Jubilee Line.

Reviews for this host's other properties

The apartment is as shown and has two bedrooms, a lounge (2 more people can sleep there), a kitchen and a bathroom. It was clean and comfortable and the area was very quiet. It is near to the centre and easy to be in the touristic spots. A good stay for a few days in London. Recommended!

Sidney is a wonderful host! The apartment is lovely and quiet, located on the banks of the Thames River and perfectly served by public transport. The kitchen is fully equipped so we were able to make dinner at home. There was was also a TV and a really good internet connection. Sidney gave us all the information we needed and was really helpful during our stay. I highly recommend the apartment.

The room was clean, tidy and indeed quite cozy. We were received by Sidney who was really nice. He asked us if we had any questions, and was willing to help. He also provided some clean towels, as well as an adaptor, as UK sockets are different. The place is in Deptford, very close to Greenwich, which allowed us to visit many touristic places. We also took the train to other touristic sites. Would completely recommend it :)

Sidney and Bel were really lovely. It was a pleasure to stay at there place and hang out with them. The flat was nice and very convenient and practical. The buses, which run close, run straight to the centre and there is also a tube station near the apartment. There are lots of restaurants and shops around. I would go back every time.

The apartment was as show in the pictures. It was comfortable and warm. The location was good enough for us to get easily to the centre. There were plenty of shops and eateries on New Cross Road. Our stay was much cheaper than a hotel!

We had a great time in London and enjoyed our time at Sidney’s apartment. Sidney gave us detailed and well explained instructions on how to find and get into the apartment. The property was in a good location with buses outside and the tube station five minutes away. We also had a very big supermarket five minutes away. We thought that the property was well maintained and we saw the cleaner every day. When we lost our key, Sidney came straight over to open the door and give us a replacement. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Sidney’s apartment. We had two bedrooms which were well sized and had all the amenities we needed. It was a short walk to the station and there were also many buses close by. Getting to the centre was easy. The quality/price ration was very high. I would highly recommend this apartment.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is very convenient, the neighbourhood safe and quiet. It is very clean and cozy, and Sidney and Bel are lovely. They made our stay even more comfortable by providing information about London and around. We had use of everything including kitchen, fridge, wifi. The station is very close, so you are quickly in the centre. We strongly recommend it!

We loved our stay in Sidney’s room. The apartment was very close to the centre of the city and we were in easy reach of all the big attractions of London. There were also a lot of restaurants and shops in the vicinity. The room was clean and exactly as shown in the Wimdu pictures with two single beds and a decent internet connection. Sidney was very kind, accommodating, and gave us useful information about London. We really enjoyed our stay at Sidney’s!
